No 2 1986 - Lancashire Aikikai Newsletter

Firstly, I would like to thank everybody who contributed to my course in Italy. It was a very instructive experience. I enjoyed discussing all aspects of aikido with aikidoist from a variety of countries. In spite of Sensei Sato speaking only Japanese and the translation being in Italian I learned through and by observation and vision. Once again, Thank you.

The special course on the 6^th of July was not very well attended.

When you only practice in your own clubs after a certain period you can become a little blasé and there is the possibility that you could fall into bad habits. That is why the Sunday courses are necessary, its like a booster injection. It also gives everyone opportunity to meet and practice with someone you have practiced with for a long time or even not met before.

I met Sensei Chiba on Sunday the 10^th August. I will discuss that we talked about on the next course Sunday 14^th September.
